The overall goal of this project is to determine whether a revision to a set of undergraduate courses involving new and additional writing exercises improves the writing skills of our majors. This project was designed to develop some additional resources for writing skill development among lower division courses in the Faculty of Health Sciences. Surveys were designed to evaluate the utility of the writing intervention as viewed by the students, teaching assistants, and instructors in selected Health Sciences courses that participated in this study. The information has been collected and awaits detailed analysis and evaluation.

Responsibilities:

Qualitative and quantitative analysis of data from student, TA, and Faculty surveys and interviews
